Blog Tour: SHIMMY FOR ME by Deanna Cameron [Excerpt + giveaway!]

BLURB:

Juggling
two jobs to keep her belly dance studio afloat keeps Abby Anderson’s mind off
her shattered love life—until a reawakened pain sends her into the arms of an
anonymous stranger she plucks from the audience of her tribal belly dance show.
No names, no strings, no romance. She tells herself it’s a harmless hookup.

Until
he turns up at her day job . . .

Derek
Collier, the sexy heir to the Collier media dynasty, just landed everything
he’s always wanted: the publisher’s seat at the Orange County Herald. Except
his first order of business is to sell the newspaper. Reeling from his family’s
betrayal, his only comfort is the memory of that mysterious belly dancer and
the perfect night they spent together.

Only one thing could divert his thoughts tonight, and she was standing in front of him, just out of reach.

He bridged the distance and touched her porcelain white chin.

“Is this all right?” he asked.

She covered his hand with her own and nuzzled into it.

“We seemed to have skipped the introductions,” he said, his eyes locked on that smooth, soft cheek. “I suppose I have the advantage. I already know who you are, Zenina, so maybe I should tell you I’m—”

She stopped his mouth with a quick finger. “No names,” she said, her chocolate eyes widening. “No numbers. Nothing. All right? Let’s just enjoy tonight.”

She didn’t want to get to know him? Or force him to get to know her? No hoops to jump through, no empty promises to make?

She really was perfect.

She took his hand from her shoulder and guided it down the front of her, over the rise of her breast, the soft slope of her belly, the ridge of her belts and scarves.

His chest thudded at the feel of her. His mind froze.

She stopped his hand and pulled it away.

“Do we have a deal?” she purred.

“Oh yeah,” he said, his heartbeat racing, his breath coming fast. “You can have whatever you want.”

A slow, sexy smile crept across her face and she rose on her toes to whisper in his ear. “Just for tonight, handsome. Just one night.”

Thank you for featuring SHIMMY FOR ME today and your thoughtful review! I've had lot of fun sharing what I know about belly dancers: that they are some of the sexiest, most interesting people you'll ever meet. I'll stop by a little later to see if there are any questions :)

Thanks for dropping in today DeAnna! I fell in love with belly dancing when I was a little girl and saw a pair dancing at the Benton Franklin Fair. When I get some time free of my review reading pile I will be sure to check out your work! :D
